1473. Group working, how to learn to work

Teacher A said to teacher B, “Working
in small groups is plumb essential: they learn to cooperate toward a common
goal.

You can practice this way of working if you teach them or, better said,
you give them some prompts and clues and suggestions. In this way they learn
how to work in a group: turn taking, brainstorming, delivering tasks among the
members of the group.

The groups could be of 3 people: in some way you assure
that tentatively all of them will do some tasks, they will carry out the
project by the 3 of them cooperating.
